Answer:

Option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost refers to the benefits that are sacrificed by choosing some other alternative.

In our case, there are two restaurants as follows:

One is 2 miles away from home with higher prices

Second one is 15 miles away from home with lower prices

But Melissa chooses the first one by comparing the opportunity cost associated with each option relative to the other option.

This is because of the higher opportunity cost associated with second restaurant offsets the higher monetary cost of the first restaurant.

o-na [289]

Answer:

The omission of this entry understated accrued liabilites. given that the related inventory was sold in year 1, it aslo overstated net income and retained earnings by understating cost of goods sold,  the same effects would occur if the insurance costs were chargeable to expense as a period cost

Explanation:

Rules specify that contingent liabilities should be recorded in the accounts when it is probable that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. This means that a loss would be recorded (debit) and a liability established (credit) in advance of the settlement.
